Fun Fold Ocean Card Details
Calming shades of blue make up the designer paper and coordinating foils featured in the new Waves of the Ocean Collection. This collection includes stamps, dies, designer papers, foils and rhinestones – and they are only offered in this collection while supplies last.
This coastal collection includes designer paper from hand-poured paint, blue-hued foil sheets for a sea of shine, and radiant rhinestones for a splash of sparkle—each an exclusive product you can only purchase during the promotion period!
Love the look of sand on your cards but wonder how to mimic it? I provide all the tips and tricks you need in today’s video. Grab your Crumb Cake cardstock and let me show you how! And wait until you see how the sand is created! It’s a genius use of this stamp set.
Stampin’ Blends Markers provide flawless coverage for your outline images and this one is easy to color. With coordinating dies I created this pelican and pilan in less than 2 minutes!
The pull out insert of this criss cross pocket card provides ample space for a handwritten message. Consider adding a gift card to the backside using Glue Dots and you’ll have an instant gift card holder as well.
Fun Fold Ocean | Rainbow of Happiness
There’s something about abstract that grabs our attention. Perhaps the unassuming placement of shapes and sizes. Regardless, the Abstract Beauty Designer Series Paper boasts that and much more! Flecks of gold take this casual pattern to a whole new level of fun!
Looking to carry that abstract feeling to the inside pocket of this card? The Lucky You stamp set includes six (6) greetings in a fun shadow format – perfect for the abstract shapes in this designer paper!
Play up the gold with the Metallics Embossing Powders. I used heat embossed one arch of the rainbow and the small flecks on the card insert using Versamark and gold embossing powder.
Fun Fold Ocean | Artfully Layered
Bring the outdoors inside with the exotic Artfully Layered Bundle. The coordinating stamps and dies make creating your oasis of plants quick and easy!
This stamp set includes several greetings with mixed fonts that are perfect for any gender or age.
Looking for a way to add a greeting to your card but struggle to find the right size die? Stamp the greeting and then cut around it using your scissors for a custom border. It’s an easy way to allow the greeting to stand out detailed imagery without being lost in the ‘crowd’.
